Today we highlight the science behind our greywater treatment system.
To treat our greywater, we use two constructed wetlands—one inside and one outside. These low-tech wetlands—a couple feet of sand and rocks topped with soil and plants—use natural processes to physically, chemically, and biologically remove contaminants from greywater. This system allows us to put all our cleaned, used water back into the ground, closing the loop on our site’s water cycle.
